The Alfa Romeo Giulietta is now available in a new Sport trim level, with athletic styling cues and enhanced equipment levels as standard.

Externally, this new trim level features 17-inch five-hole alloy wheels, side skirts, front splitter and rear diffuser with red trims, rear privacy glass and is finished with an extra-large exhaust and fog lights to give a more purposeful look. The interior continues this theme adding dark headlining, as seen on the Veloce trim level. The Giulietta Sport also sees the addition of Misano Blue, an exterior shade that is currently reserved for the flagship Veloce, to highlight the hatchback's athletic styling.

These stylish touches are complemented by a host of technology as standard. A techno-leather steering wheel, climate control, cruise control and 5-inch UconnectTM multimedia system with UconnectTM LIVE services, keep drivers comfortable and connected throughout their journey. In terms of safety, the Giulietta Sport comes with six airbags, the Alfa DNA selector with Q2 electronic differential and Dynamic Steering Torque (DST), as well as the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system with Antislip Regulation (ASR) and Hill Holder.

The new Sport version marks the entry to the Alfa Giulietta ‘Performance DNA' range, along with the Speciale and Veloce models. These three versions encapsulate the sporting heritage of the Alfa Romeo brand, whilst adding additional content and performance.
